Good News, Bad News


Good News, Bad News


On the plus side, I won a pizza on the All-Star Game, with the AL over the NL by a score of 4-3.  Too bad the game was so hard to stomach.


The action itself was OK, especially given that the White Sox All-Stars outperformed their Cub counterparts.  Lucas Giolito got the walk out of his system first thing off before retiring the next three batters in his one inning of  work while James McCann hit a single that set up a run and made a nice catch of a popup to end the eighth inning with the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position.  I won’t mention Jose Abreu’s double play but will mention the combined 0 for 5 by the Cubs’ Javy Baez, Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras.


If Joe Buck and Fox Sports didn’t exist, what a wonderful world it would be.  I can only listen to Buck with the sound off.  And my thanks to the people at Fox who thought it would be a good idea to equip the first and third base coaches with cameras atop their helmets; it was like watching video shot on a roller-coaster ride.  If that’s what the coaches see, maybe baseball doesn’t need them anymore.

Them, or Fox.
